IMPROVEMENT IN BAKE-FANS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,114, dated May 9, 1876; application filed April 25, 1876.

of New Jersey, have invented a new and Im-' proved Bake-Pan, ofwhich the following is a specification: a

Figure 1 is a top view of my improved bakepan. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

The object of this invention is to furnish an improved bake-pan, whichshall be so made that it may be struck up out of sheet metal at one operation, and may thus be made more readily and at less expense than when made in the old Way.

The invention consists in a pan made with straight sides and ends and scalloped corners, as hereinafter described.

A is the bottom of my improved bakepan, the sides B and the ends 0 of which are made straight, and with more or less flare, as may be desired. The corners D are formed with one, two, three, four, or more scallops, to take has to be drawn into shape by a series of operations.

In making my improved pan it is cut out of sheet metal to the proper size, and the corners are rounded oft. The ,plate is then put into the dies, and is brought into shape at a single operation. In this way the corrugations I) take up the metal, so that it can be brought at once into shape.

The corrugations aiso serve as spouts for pouring out gravy or other liquids that may be in the pan.

Ears or handles E may be attached to the ends of the pan in the usual way, if desired.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv i A pan made with straight sides and ends and scalloped corners, substantially as herein shown and described, to enable the pan to be brought into shape bya single pair of dies and at one operation, as set forth.
